West Elk Wilderness Rafting
Join us for 6 miles of non-stop whitewater action on Anthracite Creek. From the time you board the raft deep in the Gunnison National Forest until you land at the headwaters of the North Fork, you will be immersed in continuous class II-III rapids. This fast moving alpine creek flows with a fury born in the heart of the West Elk Wilderness.
Western Slope SUP is the only river outfitter in Colorado to offer whitewater rafting tours on this one-of-a-kind alpine creek. This remote rafting journey begins at the West Elk Wilderness boundary. The intensity and continuity of the whitewater rapids on Anthracite creek is seldom found on other Colorado rivers. This unforgettable whitewater journey will transport you to a wilder time.
Our professional guides will be your hosts on this remote river, providing you with instruction and confidence. If adrenaline is what you are after, Anthracite Creek is for you.
“My family and I were recently in town for a family wedding and my brother (a former guide on the Gunnison river) said we had to check out Western Slope SUP. What a find!! We took our 15 year old son for his first whitewater trip and the Anthracite creek was just perfect. Our guide had lots of experience and was very safe (and super funny!!). We had a safety boat of other guides with us who were training along with the owner Daniel and everyone was top notch. I've experienced a number of outfitters over the years and I could not recommend them enough and would certainly encourage anyone in the area to check them out. Not to be missed!”
